phoenix write!

i don't apologize for the horid code

lil explainer

• yes, its a svelte-kit website.
• variable and file names are god shit tier. some names are just set up as a joke to be stupid confusing.
• static/maps holds the maps (cutscense and levels)
• main level code is split among input.ts, main level visuals in _Level.svelte
• cutscene code with all edge cases entirely contained in _Cutscene.svelte
• the duet is made from copy pasting the regular game and thus is highly hardcoded, see _Duet.svelte and duet_fork.ts
• a custom map format exists, parsing is in map-parser.ts
• see types.ts for all the types for the meta.json, cutscene.json, and flags object (the json at the end of each line in map.txt)
• "builtversion" is a separate vite project since SvelteKit doesnt play well with itch io. this is what the build is from, and SK is used just for development
• in development mode, maps.json is provided via an api endpoint maps.json.ts and in production its baked using generatefinal.mjs
• i think _Container.svelte and the css --unit variable is really cool. it makes the game feel more like a real game by forcing a 16:9 aspect ratio and then making --unit equal to 1/100 of the game frame's width. everything from position to font size to letter spacing is written in terms of --unit, so the game scales to any screen.

commands

• dev with yarn dev
• build with ./BUILD.ps1, but when it says press enter to continue, you have to first do this
  • from build move cursor, cursor-red, carlito-bold, alfaslabone-regular, all into the build/assets folder
  • manually make the paths in index.html relative, add a . so its ./assets
  • then press enter, makes a zip for itchio
